Perry Barr Race Fields - 9th May 2024

It can be a case of onwards and upwards following the recent win of OUT IN DUBAI (trap 3) and she is fancied to put this bunch in the shade too. Von Der Leyen (trap 1) could well be the subject of market attention as she has a solid-enough chance. Shortwood Franky (trap 4) is a proven ready winner and he has a chance of making the frame.

The tide can turn in the favour of DARLEY FIRE (trap 1) as he should just need to avoid the rough seas early on to account for these rivals. Easy Alpha (trap 6) will be up for the challenge and can give the selection plenty to think about. Lynnia Tsara (trap 4) has a strong following and those fans will probably be sniffing around again.

Punters are often keen to latch onto STREAMSIDE HONEY (trap 3) and she certainly has the ability to get the job done against this calibre of opposition. Tried and trusted winner Phoenix Rocket (trap 2) has to be a threat. Drumcrow Andi (trap 6) needs to lead to have a chance of coming up trumps.

A podium finish should be something of a formality for HEATHMILL BARRON (trap 1) against these and he may not need too much to happen to get the job done. Westview Ayling (trap 5) certainly has the ability to get involved and looks the biggest threat. Connections of Brookend Robin (trap 2) recently enjoyed success and will be optimistic.

HEADFORD MIKE (trap 3) has a very good chance of getting the job done in this company and he is worthy of inclusion in any multiples across the card. Swift Maxwell (trap 1) will do better in time round here but he is shaping up well enough. Droopys Cheesy (trap 2) has a shout on the clock, whereas the others don't appear to.

The demand for AMAZING PIXIE (trap 4) is fairly unrelenting and it may prove fruitful to retain the confidence today as a clear run could well suffice. Leave A Legacy (trap 5) should find conditions to his liking and could give the selection a wake-up call. Radiant Style (trap 3) should be there or thereabouts at the business end.

WESTWELL DORA (trap 2) should quickly get into contention against this bunch and she is fancied to pull the rabbit from the hat when it matters. The drop in class could have the desired effect for Ferndale Glory (trap 5), who can make a real fist of it. Longacres Noir (trap 3) is not the most experienced round here, so has some scope.

While accepting DROOPYS CUSTOM (trap 4) will need his fair share of good fortune, he still rates the most likely winner and is given the nod. Ratchies Saphire (trap 1) will not be far away barring accidents and can keep the selection busy. Firecrackerheidi (trap 2) is no no-hoper and, as such, is entitled to a fair bit of respect.

The odds of HOLLYHILL MURPH (trap 6) are invariably kept on the short side given his ability within this grade and he has an excellent chance in this. Mary (trap 4) has the weaponry to be in contention at the death and is rightly feared. Ballymac Bar (trap 3) could be muscling in on the action if getting some early breaks.

SAYS YOU SPOOFER (trap 4) is fully tuned into the routine right now and can make this quick reappearance a winning one. Apollo Lightyear (trap 3) looks the obvious threat although he will need to tread carefully through the early going. Counting on the fitness levels of Bertha Peevly (trap 6), expect a bold showing.

One thing that can be relied upon is that MYSTICAL MARIO (trap 2) won't go shirking the issue and he is likely to come out on top with a degree of good luck. The acceleration of Always Wishing (trap 3) is immediate and that means he is a live contender. Billis Hurricane (trap 4) has kept the wolf from the door with a recent win and he isn't out of it.

There will be those that have been waiting for COLLIERS BOY (trap 4) for a while and they will not be letting this golden opportunity slip by without support. Mouser (trap 6) looks sure to be an active player when it matters and has to be feared. Classy Slab (trap 3) is could be on the premises battling for a medal when push comes to shove.
